fri. Jan. 9th.

"A day after hundreds of people called 911 to report hearing mysterious sounds and vibrations, the booms were back on Friday. They bounced all over Oklahoma, in Norman, Meeker and Shawnee. The sounds are similar to sonic booms, but Tinker Air Force Base officials told KOCO 5 News that they didn't have any planes taking off during either occasion. U.S. Geological Survey officials said two earthquakes occurred about a half-hour before the booms started Friday, but the chance that they were an aftershock is slim. Anthony Young said he felt them on Thursday and Friday. "We thought some nut was out here with explosives," Young said. Some think the booms might have been caused by cryoseisms, also known as ice quakes. However, there has never been any record of one in Oklahoma. The First Alert Weather Team said it hasn't been cold enough. "The topsoil and also the soil down to a couple feet have been all above freezing for the last several days," said meteorologist Jonathan Conder. For now, the source of the sounds remains a mystery."

This type of sound was reported over the North Atlantic country's.. The Air-force showed a super super new airplane they were testing.. Boom and then sound follows..

Revelation 8:1-6
1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer [it] with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
4 And the smoke of the incense, [which came] with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast [it] into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
Revelation 16:1
1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

4.7 and a 4.5 this morning on the DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM scale...

By tradition and by common sense, I don't worry until the numbers hit the magic 5.0. The modified Richter, or 'moment magnitude scale' is still something best used by journalistic types who can't handle the numbers, Simon. It suspends belief in favor of numbers on a log scale that's sort of silly to begin with. You need to know the 'g' factor (horizontal shear multiplier, expressed as a function of gravity, or G) for Modified Richter to mean anything. For that area of the world, g varies from a 0.1 to a 0.2. Contast that with L.A. at an 0.3 to an 0.5, or San Francisco with an 0.7. The children who built Fukushima Dai Ichi built that power plant on a g=2.0 (idiots build nuclear power plants on subduction zones in any case). When you learn to use the Modified Mercalli scale, let me know. A grade III or IV Mercalli won't hurt anything or anyone, and that's what this is.

Total devastation is a Mercalli XII, in case you're wondering.

(Beautiful image of many possible panic inducing scenarios of total annihilation.)

What a fun chart.

It is interesting though, I wonder if scientists could put odds on the likelihood of an extinction level event, and how far down the road before there is zero chance of the earth's life supporting elements having been completely destroyed (whether by natural or man-made cause).

I did see this on Friday (apologies if this has bene posted in later pages of this thread):

Doomsday Clock Set at 3 Minutes to Midnight
Humanity's failure to reduce global nuclear arsenals as well as climate change prompted the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists to advance their warning about our proximity to a potentially civilization-ending catastrophe

[1durphul]

So I didn't realize there was a timeline of all the Doomsday Clock adjustments over the years. It's interesting that 1991 to 1995 were probably the safest years of my life.

Gray, I was using Simon's post to get the crickets in on 1derphul's post. Two flips of the bird at those clowns with one one-liner. Can't I do a little double entendre here, or do I need more cowbell????????
